But, what about the Star Wars Saga as a whole? What about consistency? What would a person who has never seen Star Wars think if they watched the Episodes in order today? Now that Lucas, after all these years of waiting, has finally bequeathed to us the "whole saga"... The "whole story"... Why is it that some of us are left feeling less than satisfied?

This may be a little late in the thread to suggest an entertaining fix for Lucas's uninspired story-milking, but has anyone ever read "Bringing Back The Force":
"It’s wholly possible that George Lucas isn’t a total twit, and pulls off something spectacular with the Star Wars prequels. ... The glaring mistakes Lucas has made in resurrecting Star Wars, bringing it back into mainstream hype, is pretty inappropriate, though not entirely inexcusable. ... This is where my theory comes in, you see. Vader is not Luke’s father, nor, in fact, is he Anakin Skywalker."
and it's follow-up "Bringing Back The Force. part II":
"The primary purpose of this follow-up article is not to prove that my theory has no holes. Nor is it to stubbornly prove that my theory is correct, ... To me, it’s not a matter of 'who is right', but rather, 'what could be done to the Star Wars storyline to make it better'."
Now this tale would be worth watching! Star Wars might then be a classic rather than a pop-phenomenon. With all the movies and media now released, anyone up to that re-edit task?
